A rocket, which is in deep space and initially at rest relative to an inertial reference frame, has a mass of 50.2 × 105 kg, of

which 12.5 × 105 kg is fuel. The rocket engine is then fired for 450 s, during which fuel is consumed at the rate of 370 kg/s. The speed of the exhaust products relative to the rocket is 4.90 km/s. (a) What is the rocket's thrust? After the 450 s firing, what are (b) the mass and (c) the speed of the rocket?

Answer:

165.2762 m/sec

Explanation:

The initial mass of the rocket and the fuel

M₀ = 5.02e6 kg

The initial mass of the fuel

Mf₀ = 1.25e6 kg

The rate of fuel consumption

dm/dt = 370 kg/sec

The duration of the rocket burn

Δt = 450 sec

The rocket exhaust speed

Ve = 4900 m/sec

The thrust, T

T = Ve (dm/dt) = 1813000 kg m/sec²

The mass of the expended propellant, ΔM

ΔM = Δt (dm/dt) = 166500 kg

The rocket's mass after the burn

M₁ = M₀ − ΔM = 4853500 kg

The speed of the rocket after the burn

Δv = Ve ln(M₀/M₁) = 165.2762 m/sec

Answer:

The answer is false

Explanation:

Though the mostly used SI unit of measurement or the most popular units are the

Length,

Time and

Mass

i.e meter (m), seconds (s), kilogram (kg)

Aside all the above stated units for measurements there are other four basic units which are itemized  bellow.

they are

1. Amount of substance - mole (mole)

2. Electric current - ampere (A)
